Since the end of the Indochina war, the members of the anticommunist Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)-Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore-have sought to develop a "regional resilience" to the threat of communist subversion. It is an effort that depends on Western and-as yet, uncertain-American eco-nomic, political, and military...

As the euphoria surrounding the 1977 autumn peace initiative Egypt's President Anwar Sadat began to subside, there was speculation in Washington about the possibility of a fifth Arab-Israeli war.

removing a crucial personality but to draw attention to an issue killing a re- nowned figure," says Alder. The common element in both cases was "systemic frustration1'-an inability to arouse public feeling in support of an ideology (one nationalist, the other pacifist). Desperation led them to employ assassination-the act of "ultimate political pressurep'- which had significant long-range results that they never anticipated.

President Carter's human rights crusade has been abandoned, says Early, a New York writer, because "it endangered too many American interests without visibly weakening tyrannies abroad." Reduced to ab- surdity, "the crusade now amounts to looking at 105 countries receiv- ing American aid or buying American weapons and finally deciding...

many Americans, these jobs are attractive to the illegal aliens moving in at the bottom of the wage structure.
Nevertheless, Wachter argues, available statistics suggest that about 50 percent of all illegal aliens earn wages at or above the legal mini- mum. Assuming that illegal aliens constitute 30 percent of the nation's lowest-skilled labor, if all of them were forced to leave the country, wages at the bottom of the job ladder would be driven up. Of the estimated 6 million jobs now held illegal...
they suggest that the working woman is generally happier and more satisfied with her life than the woman who does not work. But some of these findings, says Wright, of the Social and Demographic Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, have been based on only a small sampling of predominantly working-class women.

They may enjoy their outside earned income and increased independence, but "pay for these benefits in reduced free time for themselves, a more hectic pace, and a more complicated life."
Surprisingly, neither working women nor housewives express much "outright dislike" for housework; and Wright's analysis of overall hap- piness,...
